Adsorption of Rose Bengal dye from waste water onto modified biomass.

Herein, adsorption of Rose Bengal dye (RB) from aqueous solution was investigated. Nano raw orange peel (OP) activated carbon (AC) coated with nano chitosan (Cs) to obtain nano chitosan/activated carbon (AC/Cs) composite which cross-linked with functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH) to create a novel composite (AC/Cs/MWCNTs) with high surface area (1923 m/g). The examined parameters such as concentration (1-7 ppm), pH (6.

Enhancement of photocatalytic and biological activities of chitosan/activated carbon incorporated with TiO nanoparticles.

Novel and sustainable chitosan (CS)/activated charcoal (AC) composites were prepared by cross-linking with epichlorohydrin (ECH) to form a porous structure. Different titanium dioxide nanoparticle (TiO NPs) concentrations (0, 0.2, 0.

Multifunctional cellulose nanocrystal /metal oxide hybrid, photo-degradation, antibacterial and larvicidal activities.

Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) and ZnO/CuO nanostructure were successfully synthesized by acid hydrolysis and sol-chemical methods, respectively. For the first time, CNC was used as a host polymer for synthesis of CNC/ZnO/CuO through In-situ solution casting technique. Morphological and structural of CNC, ZnO/CuO and hybrid CNC/ZnO/CuO were investigated by TEM, SEM-EDX, FT-IR, XRD and XPS analyses.
